OpenOffice Writer Full Page Background Images With Margins Tutorial

I've been having a hell of a time getting OpenOffice to play nice when it comes to putting a full bleed background in while retaining the text margins so that I don't have to put in a text box every page. And I've noticed that a lot of people are having the same basic problems, but I finally figured it out.

Sorry I'm talking a little quiet, it's 2:00 am!

I was going crazy with this background coloring too. I'm using LibreOffice but it works exactly the same way. I just followed what you were doing and voila. Thanks a bunch.

Yes, you have helped me out : ) Thank you very much for this solution.

Thank you. Very smart!! Strange all word-processors don't have an automatic option for a full background image. Many people love to have their designed letterhead behind their letters.

@rutgerschuijff I agree.. I'm not sure why it's not a standard option.

Thanks for sharing. This is the workaround I was looking for. I hope openoffice creates a better solution for a full page background.
